APK generator tool for Android applications

APK Generator is a free utility for Android devices that was developed by Carlo Barraco. Formerly known as APK Downloader, this tool helps users create APK files from their favorite applications and games. It's a handy way to create backups and be able to install apps on other devices without an internet connection.

Similar to APK Installer and APK Extractor, APK Generation enables users to manage Android applications and games installed on their devices. It supports batch operations and multi-part APK files. What's more, it does not require any root access. Thus, you will be able to use it right away after installation.

How do I use APK Generator?

APK Generator features a clean and simple user interface that is easy to navigate. When you first open the app, you will be presented with a list of all your installed applications right away. You have options to sort them either by name or by install date. To generate an APK file, you simply need to tap on one. Alternatively, you can tap and hold to be able to select multiple files as batch generation is supported here.

APK Generator's functionalities extend to mobile games, as well. The process of generating APKs for them will be the same as with applications. One nice thing about this utility is that supports multi-part APK files, too. It's a feature that will come in handy for large games that were designed to be segmented into smaller parts for easier management and updating by developers.

Lastly, as mentioned earlier, APK Generator does not require any root permissions from you. Do note that it will ask permission to access your storage, though, to save the generated APK file on your device. One thing to be aware of is that this app is not meant for system apps so its functionalities will not work on them.

Create APK backups with ease

If you're the type of Android user who likes to manage and create backups of your applications and games, then APK Generator is a no-brainer recommendation. It's simple and straightforward to use, supports batch operations, and it just works as intended. You don't even need root permissions to be able to use its features. Good stuff.
